Mario Circuit 2

Most of this course is just staying on the inside after collecting the coins, but there are a couple shortcuts in this one, too.

After the first turn, you'll shortly come up to another right turn, but if you have a boosting item ( Star, Mushroom ) you can just blast right over the off-road part and hit a ramp. Trick off of that and you'll earn yourself a precious second or two lead.

Going into the homestretch after the longest curve on the course and after hitting the flight booster, glide for a second and then pull up and bank left. You'll bypass the turn and soar over the wall, giving you an edge on everyone who didn't follow your example.
